Popsicles

Hey guys!
Recently I have been making some simple fruity Popsicles for Mr. Turtle, and I thought I would do a post on it. These are good for younger children because of how they are made. They are soft, so they are easy to bite, and they only have natural, fruity ingredients. 

You will need: 
Popsicle molds (4 spaces)
Blender
Two bananas
Two tbs. of pineapple
or three tbs. of blueberries
1/3 cup of orange juice

Put the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blend into the Popsicle molds, freeze, and enjoy. Hope you like them!

Hand and foot print exploration

Hey everybody.
yesterday Mr. Turtle and I were playing in the sandbox when I saw a cat print in the sand and was inspired to do a bit of exploring with hand and foot prints. It was simple, easy, and we didn't even have to leave the sandbox. If you don't have a sandbox that's just fine, all you need is a place with loose dirt. use a shovel to loosen about a square foot of dirt. Then bring your child over and press your hand or foot into the dirt, or help your child to press their's in. Remove the hand and show your child how it made a print. That's all I have for today, so I hope you enjoyed this fun exploration project.
